Dvd burning problem.

Hi!

I'm trying to burn a dvd-image to a dvd, but i run into a problem. No software works properly and i think it is because they don't recognize my dvd-drive. Gnomebaker can see my drive when running in root, but brasero prints this when i open it:

(brasero:7415): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.

** (brasero:7415): WARNING **: hal_initialize failed: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: Tiedostoa tai hakemistoa ei ole

(brasero:7418): GStreamer-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin '/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgst1394.so': /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgst1394.so: undefined symbol: raw1394_set_iso_handler

(brasero:7418): GStreamer-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin '/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstneonhttpsrc.so': libgssapi.so.4: jaettua objektitiedostoa ei voi avata: Tiedostoa tai hakemistoa ei ole

Oh and "jaettua objektitiedostoa ei voi avata: Tiedostoa tai hakemistoa ei ole" is "shared object file can't be opened: No such file or folder" in finnish

And when i select "burn image" console prints out:

** (brasero:7415): CRITICAL **: nautilus_burn_drive_get_media_type: assertion `drive != NULL' failed

What causes the problem and how can it be fixed. I have added myself into optical-group and tried to find the answer, but no luck so far. Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: Dvd burning problem.

I am pretty convinced that those errors do not mean that your dvd writer is not seen, but are specific to the programs. Just try to use growisofs from dvd+rw-tools, it is extra simple and not prone to silly errors.

Re: Dvd burning problem.

Ok, thanks. I thought using commands, i'll give it a try.

Do i just use:

growisofs -Z /dev/cdrw -r -J /path/to/files

or is it somehow different with .iso-files?

And how do i find out is my dvd-writer /dev/cdrw or /dev/dvd or what?

Edit: and now i realize i can't open dvds, so there must also be something wrong with that.
Edit 2: In my fstab, i have:

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom   iso9660   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd   udf   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0

Edit 3:

growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/home/mango/stuff/movie.iso -speed=2 -dry-run -iso-level 3

prints:

:-( /dev/dvd: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: 0

Re: Dvd burning problem.

That command is fine in order to try. If you want something more refined look in the wiki guide "Writing DVD". About the device, /dev/scd0 (or scd1 if you have another cdrw-cdrom unity) is the real name, all the others are just symbolic links.

About reading, may be you have to use iso966o also for DVDs. Do not change fstab, but give the command by hand, something like: mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/dvd.

Re: Dvd burning problem.

When i use mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/dvd, i get: mount: no media found, even when i have a full dvd or cd in.

It would be lovely to get my dvd-drive working. I tried to scan for it and it was found but somehow it is unusable. Should i change something in my fstab or other config files?

Re: Dvd burning problem.

Bump!

And realized today, that i also can't connect to usb. I have an usb mouse, but i can't use usb storages. I added myself into optical and storage-groups, no difference. What the hell can be the problem?!
So now i can't use usb or write/read cds or dvds. Any help is appreciated!

Found out that obviously my dvd-drive is in /dev/sr0, but there's no sr0 in /dev.
